Ever get the sudden urge to declutter everything… at once?
Start small. Build momentum. Feel better.
If you suddenly want to reset your home, you don’t need to overhaul everything. The best kind of progress is the kind that feels doable.
Let’s skip the all-or-nothing mindset and try something that builds momentum.
The “Visible Trash Sweep”
It’s exactly what it sounds like—and that’s the point.
No overthinking. No decision fatigue. Just a few easy tosses that make a big difference.
Here’s how:
Grab a bag (or a box).
Walk through your busiest space—kitchen, hallway, entryway... wherever clutter likes to pile up.
Toss whatever’s clearly ready to go:
▫️ Torn packaging or empty boxes
▫️ Used-up candles or broken bits
▫️ Expired snacks or fridge ghosts
▫️ Stained dish towels or things past their prime
Not sure about something? Leave it.
This sweep is about obvious wins—and building momentum.
When you’re done, pause. Breathe.
Notice the shift? Even a handful of clutter can free up something bigger—space, energy, clarity.
Bag full or half full? Brilliant.
That’s visible progress—and more than enough for today.
Tomorrow—or whenever—you can go a layer deeper.
For now, enjoy the cleared-out calm.
Yes, a layer at a time. And I like, "Notice the shift? Even a handful of clutter can free up something bigger—space, energy, clarity."
